“Stonyridge follows French traditions unapologetically…for the Stonyridge ’96 to make the top three with Latour when French judges decided on the best wines of the world” – Wine & Dine (June/July 1999)

Our viticulture is meticulous, with at least 5 full-time staff working in our 6-hectare vineyard throughout the year. We select the finest clones and graft them onto the best low-vigour rootstocks we can find. Apart from the five Bordeaux grapes, we are doing trials with many other varieties. Insecticides have never been used at Stonyridge and herbicides have not been used since 1988 when we purchased our first German tractor-mounted undervine weeder. Our vine-disease-protection program is limited to non-systemic fungicides (copper and sulfur).

“I have seen many New World attempts to emulate the Bordeaux method of growing grapes, none more convincing than that of Stephen White at Stonyridge…A vertical tasting did no more than confirm my view that Stephen White is making New Zealand’s finest Cabernet-based red wines.” – James Halliday, Wine Atlas of Australia and New Zealand
